*My first answer: look for Serrapeptidase on your search engine: Wikpedia, British Medical Journal articles(listed separately), and Dr.’s Best andHealth Concerns websites, Wellness Directory on the subject of Chronic Inflammation, probably the source of many things. That should get you started. Herbal Medicines work as well: see your local herbalist. I did not say witch doctor: be careful, get herbs from a reliable store before you try to buy over the internet, then you’ll know if you are getting what you ask for. Several Drugstore have a fine selection of herbals. Hylands is one brand, and ask your pharmacist, many know herbs well. Ask around.
I work for an acupuncturist (5 years), which works for all of your topics with varying degrees of success from moderate to great except obesity. It is his opinion that obesity needs will power and in some cases counselling, but accepts patients if they listen to him and takes herbal remedies to suppress the appetite.
The internet will tell you that Europe and Asia have been using many solidly researched (by them) non-prescription remedies and prescription remedies, too, that we are a little!! behind on. Many of our patients are striking out on their own because their Doctors are running out of rote answers and sending them to alternative medicine. I personally have used serrapeptase to remove arterial plaque, after I suffered heart attack, stroke, both while working at hospitals, a carotid artery cleanout, and quadrupal bypass. When my doctor thought my carotid was over half full again I took it upon myself to use Sytrinol and Serrapeptidase. That was two years ago, and several other things have resolved under this treatment as well (Rheumatoid Arthritis-documented), range of motion, cut my HBP medications in half(2). No more TIA’s, but you have to read read read talk and read to understand what your specific problem is, why you have it, and what to try. Don’t believe all testimonials. Look for studies from overseas. Good luck.
for high blood pressure you need not eat fast foods(to much salt) exercise (walking) vita mines (magnesium citrate only 1 once a day, potassium,alfalfa is a good one. For fibromyalgia cut WAY back on meat better if you can go with out , omega oils Flax Seed oil, evening premrose oil is another. For over weight we all know it is to excercise (walking) no fast foods,sweets have to go (yea bummer) walk walk walk this will help a great deal with depression also Vitamin Folic Acid especially if you are on birth control take it every day, you might want to include Kelp this will help keep you thyroid in check. If youe interested in what foods to eat contact me legacydoe@yahoo.com
Perhaps you can define what alternitive medicine means to you. As time goes by traditional medicine is going outside the box to find answers and now suggests things they wouldn’t have many years ago.
Life takes a global approach to in order to have a healthy organism. Nutrition combined with Chi-Gung is a great way to find balance.
-high blood pressure = Exercise, especially aerobic like brisk walking 2-3 hours total a week, better balanced diet, less fast food
-arthritis/ fibromyalgia = Exercise, with attention to gentle stretching before aerobic exercise, massage to relax the muscles, local application of capsaicin or salycilate ointments (sports rubs) to the affected joints or trigger points
-obesity = Exercise, especially areobic like brisk walking 2-3 hours total a week, better balanced diet, reduce calory input by 1-200 calories a day, keep a journal of what is eaten and when.
-depression/anxiety = Exercise, especially aerobic like brisk walking 2-3 hours total a week, decrease intake of sweets and alcohol, increase intake of chocolate.
High Blood Pressure - Garlic & CQ10. Herbs.
Arthritis - Many forms but using flamatory herbs and pain additives will control the symptoms with the help of an Alternative minded physician.
Obesity - Diet and exercise in that order is best. Some herbs help curb hunger and help digestion.
Depression - a lack of some minerals in the diet. It is usually associated with mental condition. Herbal application for specific depression is suggested.

10I’d say acupuncture has a good rate of success for high pressure anxiety and fibromyalgia. I don’t know about obesity much.
